2. Parts & Warranty
-
Genuine Parts: We supply genuine Miele parts with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.
-
Labour Warranty: We provide a 30-day (1-month) labour warranty covering the recurrence of the exact fault repaired. This does not cover the same error code if caused by a different underlying issue.
-
Location: Warranty is valid only at the location of the original repair unless agreed otherwise in writing.
3. Repair Outcomes & Limitations
-
Best Endeavours: We perform repairs following Australian industry best practices. Some faults may be intermittent or beyond economical repair.
-
Investigative Work: Authorising work confirms the amount is payable for the repair attempt and investigative labour, regardless of the final outcome.
-
Further Faults: If additional issues are discovered during repair, a revised quote will be provided before proceeding.
-
Pest Damage: We are not liable for issues arising from cockroach or pest infestations. We cannot guarantee the prevention of future pest-related damage.
4. Payment Terms
-
Due Date: Payment is strictly due upon completion of works on the day of attendance.
-
Invoicing: Invoices are sent electronically. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor 'junk' folders. Non-receipt does not exempt the customer from the obligation to pay on time.
-
Consent: By replying "YES" to our booking SMS or authorising a technician on-site, the customer accepts the disclosed call-out fees and hourly rates.
5. Default & Debt Recovery
-
Late Payment: Invoices outstanding over 7 days are in "Default."
-
Recovery Costs: In a Default event, the Customer is liable for all costs and disbursements incurred by Livelee Electrical in pursuing the debt, including:
-
Debt collection agency commissions and fees.
-
Legal costs on a solicitor-and-own-client basis.
-
An internal administrative fee of $25.00 per overdue reminder.
-
-
Credit Reporting: We reserve the right to report defaults to credit reporting agencies, which may impact the Customer’s credit rating.
6. Dispute Resolution
-
Notification: Disputes regarding work quality or billing must be raised in writing within 48 hours of service.
-
Undisputed Amounts: In a partial dispute, the customer must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice immediately. Referral to a third-party mediator (e.g., NSW Fair Trading) does not stay the obligation to pay the undisputed amount.
7. Ownership of Goods
-
Title to all goods and parts supplied remains with Livelee Electrical Pty Ltd until payment is received in full.
